that's not an open and transparent process, certainly not the one that speaker boehner promised. h. reform 1256 would require the commodity futures trading commission and the securities exchange commission to jointly issue rules on the regulations of swaps, transactions between the united states and foreign entities. h r. 1256 automatically exempts transactions in countries with the nine largest swaps marks from u.s. regulations unless the cftc and s.e.c. jointly determine that the regulations are broadly equivalent. because many large u.s. financial institutions have subsidiaries outside the united states, there are serious concerns that banks will seek to conduct swap transactions in countries with looser regulations to avoid u.s. oversight. madam speaker, it is important to note that many countries are far behind the united states in promulgating their rules on swaps. why are we looking to allow foreign regulations to govern transactions involving u.s. companies that could ultimately impact our economy? during the markup in the financial services committee, ranking members maxine

this is a very important bill, as speaker boehner said on the floor yesterday, it would create 20,000 great jobs and about 100,000 jobs. the state department estimated $42,is00 direct jobs. these are american jobs. we have millions of people, too many millions that are unemployed, mr. chairman, and many millions more who are underemployed having to work at jobs far below their skills, talent, and abilities, this will create good american jobs. 30,000 barrels a day of oil being piped down. by itself maybe it wouldn't bring down gas prices, but it certainly would keep some of these other 230r7b energy producers from raising their prices as fast as they surely would like to and have them in the -- have been in the past. i can tell you if we don't pass this bill and similar bills to increase energy production in this country, all we are going to be doing is helping opec and other foreign energy producers. it's time we start putting our own people, our own workers first. start putting our own country first again. we need to pass this bill to help in that process. i yield back. the speaker
